Washington told Trump after Iran strike: It’s no longer a “forever war”
On Sunday, Washington was traumatized by the post-9/11 conflict in the United States, as Americans see the impact of Donald Trump’s decision to strike on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
In the entire political field, various factions unified under the banner of building a ground attack on state-building define the two wars initiated by the Bush administration.
This is the only area of agreement between progressives and pro-Trump factions who oppose U.S. participation to the Israeli military movement and their opponents, a new conservative faction in Washington, calling for further escalation in the form of strikes in other facilities, and strikes against Iranian political and military leadership.
On Sunday morning, the Trump administration openly leaned towards the previous group. Vice President Trump, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State, spoke with journalists and urged Iranian leaders to choose to oppose the U.S. strike and urged three senior government officials, Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State, to talk with journalists. “We did not fight Iran, so assurance that the United States did not try to overthrow the Iranian government, the three left the off-road vehicle. We are at war with Iran’s nuclear program,” Vance claimed.
But Democrats and Republicans are wise to Iranian opponents after Saturday night’s attack, with many skeptic about the U.S. ability to avoid Senator Jim Risch, one of the administration’s defenders said it would be another “forever war.”

Many Democrats urged more parties to sign a resolution aimed at re-engineering the president’s war powers. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Lonely Republican supporter of the resolution, called on his party to conduct in an interview while condemning the impact of the AIPAC in Washington’s pro-Israel Hall.
“The magazine should give up on this pathetic loser,” Trump wrote in a long post against Masisi.
But for Democrats, the bombing represents a question where common positions can be found. Rep. Ro Khanna, co-sponsor of the resolution, warned: “This is a decisive moment for the Democrats. We need to oppose the war with Iran.”
Rep. Adam Smith, one of more centrists who voted for the Iraq War in 2002, issued a lengthy statement on Saturday asking Trump to refuse to seek Congressional authorization. He also warned of the Iraqi-style intervention he once supported: “The president’s choice risk of releasing a broader war in the region is both incredible and less dangerous.”

Efforts to contain Trump’s military power also received support from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Saturday. Schumer is a staunch supporter of Israel but accused the government of creating “unstable threats” and having “no strategy.”
“Now, the danger of a broader, longer, more devastating war has increased,” the Senate Democratic leader added.
On the right, conservative supporters of the president who opposed Israel’s sudden military strike – which took place during the United States – during the first talks of Iran – were angry and worried about the future of the White House’s domestic agenda.
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz talks to him. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in his performance accused Israel of seeking “government change” in Iran. He also tore up the Netanyahu government, accusing the Prime Minister of trying to avoid his own election defeat by engaging the United States in the war, and attacking Israel for alleged existence of its own nuclear weapons program.

“Please run, guys [Benjamin] Netanyahu,” he quipped.
Curt Mills, executive director of the Conservative Party, warned that it is difficult for Trump to support the beginning of the United States.
“The target pillar. Move immediately,” Mills wrote in response to the reported call for further strikes to Israeli media. “They will continue to ask Trump to do more forever until he or another U.S. president says no.”
He added: “The shooting position will be moved until morale collapses, and every drop of juice is squeezed out of Trump’s political capital.”
Even those defending the government’s involvement in Israel’s military movements hesitantly recognize the kind of foreign military footprint that the United States has maintained in the so-called war on terrorism.
Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wrote before May that the government should adhere to the “full demolition of Iran’s nuclear program”, praising the president’s “decisive action” in his own statement, which included the core plan of civilians, including the abundance of civilians.
“This is Israel’s war, not our war,” the senator said. “This is not the beginning of a permanent war. There will be no American boots on the ground in Iran.”
